McGovern said, “I believe that the ‘Coalition of the Stupid’ or the ‘Coalition of the Misled’ is doomed to fail without the United States. The United States will, of course, supply them with weapons we do not have. They will pay for them with money they do not possess.

Last Thursday, a meeting of the so-called ‘Coalition of the Willing’ was held in Paris, chaired by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron. Following the meeting, the French President announced the commitment of 26 countries to deploy a ‘deterrent force’ in Ukraine after the ceasefire.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed that Moscow sees no possibility for a resolution regarding the deployment of foreign peacekeeping forces on the territory of the post-Soviet Republic. The minister explained that if a foreign force appears in Ukraine, Western countries will not want to agree to the terms of a peaceful settlement, as these forces will create a new reality on the ground.
